Union

Union

In anticipation

Of Your arrival

I haven't been able to sleep

For many nights

Since morning, I am waiting

Bathed in perfume

Fresh roses in every room

Door to my heart

Wide open for you 

That Volcano

Of pain

In my being

Will cool down today

For this day

I have taken birth

For this reunion

I have come to earth

Now that you are coming

Promise me

You will never leave again

My heart is singing a joyous song

My soul is dancing

To the rhythm of my heart beat

And it’s all for you

It’s all because of you
